Why, it i s a l mos t a volume of history ittielf to say that this distin guished man was the advocate of Lammenais, of ht have been—when Chateaubriand, and of the present Emp eror o f t h e w French. hatev e r th etheir (Cheers.) opinions Theseig m men, and many more, they needed a, word to be spoken for them—to whom did they go ? They went to M. Berryer, and when the wheel of fortune turned ?ound again we find him the same man, never refusing his ser vices to his country in any way he ccnsidered them useful. Still he lifted up his voice. as.the advocate of freedom, of writing, and free speech, as in the famous trial of Count de Moutalembert. (Cheers.) At an advanced age he is sustaining not only the dignity, but the power, the influence, and the bril liancy of his younger days. (Hear, hear.) But I feel that I have detained you too long from that which is much more desirable than to hear his eulo• gium fully expressed by me—the honour of first drinking his health, of wishing him a cordial wel come, and then hearing from his own lips an example of that unrivalled eloquence for which he is famed. (Cheers.) The toast having been drunk with much entbu. siasm, Last night the Bar of England entertained the distinguished French advocate, M. Berryer, at a banquet in the Middle Temple Hall. The occasion was one which will long be remembered in the annals of the English bar. The noble old hall re- quired no decoration to make it one of the most pic turesque as well as the most appropriate places in which such a gathering coul3 have been held.

S.E. The choir of the Temple Church sang grace from the " Laudi Spiritueli" before the banquet, and grace also afterwards. On the conclusion of the banquet full honour was done to the usual loyal toasts of " The Queen" and " The Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." The CHAIRMAN next rose and said—Gentlemen, I now propose that we should show our respect to the great nation to which our distinguished guests belong, and our estimate of the value we attach to our friendly a lliance with that na ti on , b y d r i n ki ng "The Emperor of the F th r e en h e e h a . l , t l h of their sovereign, The toast was drunk with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN rose and said--My lords and gentlemen, I have now to ask you that we should do ourselves the honour of drinking the health of the illustrious citizen and distinguished states• man, the great orator, the unrivalled advocate whom we have the honour of seeing amongst us this day. (Cheers.) I am sure that the assembly which surrounds him is far more elcquent in his praise than any words that I or anyone else among us could utter. I venture to tell him that in this country, I think I should not be exaggerating if I said in the world, such an assembly as this has never yet been brought together on such an occasion. (Cheers.) Not only iu this splendid and stately hall, crowded by the members of the bar of England eager to obtain admission to the festivity ; but we are also surrounded by guests whom we have been prcud to ask to join us in doing honour to him and his col. leagues on the occasion. Those guests are the flowers of our bench of judges, and of venerable and famous men who in former days have sat upon that bench. time., , (Cheers.) tothe e s end oef men These whoseyet perhapsnames w theybe re nownedwill not think it otherwise than an addition to their e a r t i honour to be associated with us this day. (Cheers.) (TRANSLATION M. BERRYER, who on rising was again received with loud and long-continued cheering, replied as follows ;—Messieurs—l can scarcely speak ; and you will doubtless believe me when I tell you that I am profoundly moved at this fraternal reception, and at the aspect of this gather• ing, in the midst of which I find myself in generous England. The embarrassment I expe rience will hardly suffer me to express appropriately the sentiments I feel. Yesterday, Mr Attorney-Ge neral, I congratulated you, and I again to-day con gratulate you on your noble country, on the spectacle it presents, of a man who is at the same time the counsel for the Crown and for the nation —a combination which would appear strange in my country, bat which conduces to the perfecting of social laws. It is a great spectacle, messieurs. Equally great is my emotion when I see united in the same person solicitude for the independence of the bar and for the independence of the nation. Great and noble indeed is the spectacle, and it carries me back with sadness to what is taking place in my own country. However, it has not always been so with us, and sixty years ago the avocats generaux were there called les generaux des avocats. In the name of the English bar, in the name of this great Society, you deign to compliment the labours of my life. But what associations rise up to my mind at the mention of the English bar, where shine Erskine, Eldon, Romilly, and that illustrious man in whom we all glory, and who has honoured me with his friendship, Lord Lyndhurst, who has left as many tokens of his greatness as affectionate regrets; and that other great man near me, who has so kindly desired to associate you with this touching reception—this advocate so illustrious, so eminent, this statesman so distinguished, this orator so eloquent, and, above all, this excellent man, who has devoted the greater part of his life to the advancement of the liberty and the liberal institutions of a free country. I admire in him the union of all these qualities. You have been so good as to recall fifty years of laborious toil, and you give me a touching testimony of honourable sympathy. It is a great day for me, and I can scarcely compre hend this good fortune. If I were in the midst of my colleagues, supported by the associations of fifty years of friendly intercourse, I might fancy I merited these praises. Bat here, in this new world near you whom I have never, or, at least, barely visited, I am astounded at this warm reception. I am speaking, however, of myself as if I were the sole object of this solemnity; I forget our chief, our honourable Wormier, who represents the French bar. There is, I imagine, in the present meeting a higher, greater, and more pregnant thought—it is an appeal to the bars of the two countries. I have passed but a short time with you, messieurs, too short a time indeed ; but during the three days I have been here I have been present at the sittings of the Chancery, Appeal, and Exchequer Courts, and that presided over by the Chief Justice, and in the proceedings of the judicial investigations I was struck with the position of the bar, with that perfect independence which was al. lowed it, and with the familiar conversations which were exchanged between the judge and the counsel It would be vain for me to attempt to do justice either to the merits of M. Berryer, or to the feelings and motives which have induced you to invite him amongst us. But I feel at least that I express some part of the sentiments which animate your hearts when I say that you have invited here because you see in him one who, by extraordinary perseverance and virtues, and by a long and brilliant career, has adorned, ennobled, and dignified the profession of which we are all members. (Cheers.) And while we are delighted to recognise in him conspicuous and singular individual and personal merit, we are also proud that merit so conspicuous justifies us in taking this opportunity of showing our sense of the universal brotherhood which ought to prevail, and which we believe does prevail, between the bar of rejoice, England and the bar of France, and I trust the bar of all the rest of the civilised world. (Cheers.) We calling upon which depe nd noble calling — a rights and liberties calling which vulgar minds fre quently misunderstand and gentlemen, in the science of a great and every conflict; to supply jue i u n n e d o e r s - m e s a t under - estimate; adteegc degree t the a (Cheers.)

(Continued cheers.) It has been our inestimable benefit in times past. We believe that, if need were, we should be able to discharge that duty a ga in, and we rejoice when we see it discharged as itought to be in other coun tries. (Hear, hear.) There are three great and in. estimable blessings i every one of which we in this country enjoy, and we should be glad to see all enjoy in th© rest of the world ; but I venture to say that wherever any-one of the three is found there public liberty cannot be extinguished. And what are these three things ? A free Press, a free Par.. liament, and a free Bar, (Great cheering.) Now, I must say I believe that in the world there is no country the bar of which has deserved greater hon our than that of France — (cheers)—and I am sure that I shall carry your assent with me when I add that at no period in the brilliant history of that nation has there been at the head of that bar a more honest, a more virtuous, a more eloquent, or more persevering advocate than our illustrious guest. (Cheers.) His name is connected in a way which time will never dissever with the history of his country. At an age when most of those whom I see around me were beginning their legal studies, this great man had begun the great public career which to this day he continues to fulfil. The son of a father scarcely less distinguished than himself, he was the advocate of Marshal Ney in the time of the ascendancy of those principles of which my illustrious friend has ever been the faithful advo cate. (Cheers.) But the ascendancy of those prin. ciples did not prevent him from opposing to the utmost the exorbitant and excessive abuse of power. Not only on that great historical occasion, bet in the defence of numbers of other distinguished mea in volved in like misfortune, did M. Berryer stand forward. And it is well known to you that whilst his own political principles were in the ascendant his voice was ever raised for moderation and for jus tice to those whose fortunes were then on the de cline. (Hear, hear.) We have nothing to do with the various vicissitudes in the political fortunes of except on this occasion to ad that great country , mire the constancy and nobleness of the man who under all circumstances bore himself so well. After. wards, when his pr inciples were no longer in the ascendant, he did not retire calmly from the service o f hi s coun t r y ; his voice wall still raised bravely, —conversations which prevent needless words and superfluous objections in the discharge of immediate justice. What majesty lies in this simplicity ! But . . I see in it something more—l see in it a powerful guarantee for the administration of justice. We can only gain, the ono and the other, by the exchange of our private ideas, and for that reason I express my most earnest hope that this alliance of the two bars may be cemented. Ido not say that we could offer you the spectacle which you have given us here, for such meetings would not be tolerated with us ; but we will not fail to take advantage of English liberty for the benefit of the two nations,for the ex. change of generous ideas. It is not a question simply of the protection of private interests, it affects still more the interests of the people. I aspire to „ -~ ~. PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. EIVSPAPEit see the exchange of our respective ideas; we shall profit by the excellence of your institutions; we shall derive from them a good example. The French bar has noi, been called, like yours, to furnish the State with leading men. With us, in the course of ab uninterrupted series of revolutions, men who had any self-respect refused to engage in the manage ment of public affairs ; and those who had embarked on the stormy sea of politics have taken refuge in a port from their troubles, and have . re-entered our profession as the noblest of retreats. Yes, let the exchange of communications between the English and French bars be perpetuated; let it extend even to all the bars of civilised nations; let not free trade be confined to commerce; let it be extended to ideas, and we shall be charmed to receive those of Eng► land. Draw us to yourselves ; welcome us; you have numerous and talented writers and a powerful press, which we, alas, know not. May free trade reach even journalism. Messieurs, I drink to the alliance of the two bars of England and France. The learned orator's speech was frequently interrupted with loud and prolonged cheering. The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of M. Desmarest and the French bar. M. DESMAREST, in responding to the toast, said—Je awls emu quand je me love pour repondre au toast si bon et si affectu,eux porte au barreau de Paris. L'union entre lea deux barreaux a std is 'eve demon intelligence. Quand on con sid ere les chosen du monde—me ate apt es un banquet awsi splendide—(a laugh)—il eat impossible de ineconnaitre qu'il ya au monde deux influences, la force et la justice. (Cheers.), Jo no veux pas dire de mal de la force; quant a la justice c'est ici qu'il sied d'en dire du bien, devant votre gloire present et devant votre gloire anc!enne permettez-moi d'ajouter en presence de ces deux porta- etendards du droit et de la justice, Lord Brougham et M. Berryer. (Loud cheers,) Il exists une grande similitude dans leur mac teres. Tous deux ills out porte bien haute la gloire intellec tuelle; tons deux ills ont brills dans les asse:nblees publiques; toils deux, enfin, sont membres de l'Academie Fran caise. (Cheers.) J'avoue quo je semis trouble si je n'avais apporter ici que le tribut de ma seule reconnaissance. Ma's aussitat que j'ai etc informs de votre gracieuse invitation, j'ai profits de ces reunions legales autorisees en France pour dire a nos avocets l'honneur qui m'etait fait. Tons, jeunes et vieux, m'ont repondu, " Allez en Angleterre." (Loud cheers. Je n'ai ,pas en le temps de consulter les membres de notre berretta de province, male tons m'aur aient tenu le memo langage. Je vois la grand image du monde judiciare de France donnant la main au monde judiciare d'Angleterre, degre preliminaire pour amener entre nous une alliance plus intime, selon la belle idea de celui qui devrait etre notre 13.tonnier perpetuel et qui est toujours notre bhtonnier moral. Messieurs—permettez moi de dire mes cher confreres— (loud cheering)—vous nous avez donne hexemple, soycz certain qu'il sera suivi. Un de vos hommes d'e tat I'illustre Chancelier de l'Echiquier disait dans une circon stance recente avec cette incomparable eloquence qui rappelle les beaux jours de l'antiquite, qua, dans le temps oil nous vivons les progres de la civilisation devrait accom plir par des moyens plus dour que dans les temps passes. Ces paroles qui concilient bien des difficultes ont trouve de l'tlcho en France. Jo signe avec vouse un traite d'alliance qui servira ala conquete pacifiquo du progres, (Loud cheers.) M. GOUNOD also returned thanks. The CHAIUMIN then rose and said—Gentlemen, there are other distinguished and, I may say, illustrious guests who have honoured us to-day with their company, as well as those who have come from the sister country—France. Distinguished guests, to whom I now refer, have wished to join us in the honour we desire to pay to M. Berryer and his eminent companions. But it is impossible not to feel that we, the members of the bar of England, have been privileged to be the hosts on this occasion—and we are greatly honoured and indebted to the presence of numerous judges whom I see around us—(cheers)—to the numerous and distinguished persons whose rank is even senior to that of the judges, and of the rest of the guests who have honoured us to-day with their company. (Hear, hear.) I might, perhaps, have been called upon to endeavour, in a few words, to express the feelings of all of us towards the venerable Nestor of the English bench—(hear, hear)—of that remarkable man, of his various knowledge of his un• rivallei eloquence, of his achievements in the Legislature, of his individual industry in the promotion of the improve ment of the law, both at the bar and when he sat on the highest seat of the judges on the bench ; but, gentlemen, I feel that I have been anticipated in that which I might e= : , -_-:. , . - naturally wish to say, both by M, Berryer, and by M. Des- marest. They have spoken of him in the most beautiful, touching, and graceful manner. I dare not venture t) add to what they have so much better stated. I will, therefore, simply ask you now to drink th,:‘, health of the guests who have honoured us with their presence, coupling with the toast the name of Lord Brougham. (Cheers) , Lord BROUGHAM, in returning thanks, said—Sir, you coning power, tho knowledg ,t b a , , the energy, and the indopenden.:3obitittiathisp4, try. (Cheers.) We are hap • of paying the tribute of our resp• . o u Intt-sV•I/4 so eminently deserves it. We rejoicalaceecaly and that; this celebration has afforded us the opportunity Or welcom. ing the most eminent member as well as official head of the profession, of which we are all members, in the neigh bouring country : and allow mo to say, that of all thozo in tellectual qualities and attainments which distinguish our fellow-advocates as eminent and illustrious man, whom we have this day met to honour, there is, in my mind, one vir tue and quality essentially the crowning and particular quality of their advocate, that of having conducted the functions of his great profession with unsullied and untar nished honour in defending his political clients. My noble friend, Lord Brougham, whose words are words of wisdom, said that an advocate should be fearless as well as carry out the interests of his client ; but I couple it with this quali fication, that is, that the aims he wields are to be the arms of the warrior, and not ,of the assassin. It is his duty to strive to achieve and accomplish the interests of his client per fas, but not per nefas; to do the business of his client to the utmost of his power; to seek to reconcile the interest which he is bound to maintain and the duty which it is incumbent upon him to discharge with the entire and im mutable interests of truth and justice. (Cheers.) Mons. Berryer, in all the great causes he has been stalled upon to conduct—in all the great interests he has had to uphold-- in these cases the advocate Berryer has never forgotten the gentleman and man of honour, and I respect him as much for that as for the eminent talents which has cast so much lustre on his name, and upon the profession of which he is such a distinguished ornament. In my name, and in the name of my brethren, I beg to thank you. most cordially, and most sincerely, for the opportunity you have afforded us of doing that which has been so gratifying to our feel ings, namely, doing honour to M. Berryer and his com panions. (Cheers) have my hearty thanks for the great kindness with which you have proposed, and you gentlemen have received, the toast of my health. It is only the respect which I never fail to receive among that profession of which•l have the honour to be a member. On all occasions I meet with the greatest respect, and what is even more valuable, the greatest affection of that noble profession to which we both belong. Oa. the present occasion your atten tion is called to other guests, and more especially to that illustrious man who sits near me—M. Berryer. To whom should I compare him ? Not certainly to any of the advo cates of ancient and classical times, but to one very superior to them all—to our own Erskine—(cheers)—the first advo- cate who ever appeared in the world, and I put M. Berryer on a level with him. (Hear, hear.) I have carefully at tended to tho careers of both these great men, and I find that both Lord Erskine and M. Bezryer possess that great The UHAIRMAN then rose and said—There is one more toast, which the presence amongst us of other illustrious and eloquent guests on this occasion has rendered necessary. It is a toast which on all occasions Englishmen are glad to drink—l mean the toast of the two Houses of Parliament —(cheers)—the Lords and Commons of England, with which I beg to couple the name of one of our most honour able and learned judges—l mean Lord liingsdown—(cheers) —and one of our most illustrious statesmen,whose presence on this occasion I suppose we owe to the unhappy accident of his also being constructively a judge—(a laugh)—l mean Mr Gladstone, (Loud cheers.) Lord KINGSDOWN briefly returned thanks for the House of Lords. Mr GLADSTONE, who was received with cheers again and again renewed, said—Sir Roundell Palmer, I have to thank yon for having been kind enough to state to this great assembly the title under which it is my privilege to address you; but I will venture to ask one favour of those to whom I have now been called upon to speak, and that is that they will not exercise any portion of their legal ingenuity in the invidious endeavour to discover flaws in that title. (A laugh.) For my own part, be it as a judge or be it as a layman—and I am afraid the latter is the title to which I have the better claim—l rejoice in hav ing been permitted to share with you, almost perhaps alone to share with you, in rendering the tribute of British admiration to the guests whom you entertain to-day. I am glad to speak in behalf of the House Of Commons. Rare indeed are the oceasions when it is in the power of an individual member of that assembly, without pretension, to make himself the organ of its sentiments; but I am well assured that this is one of these few occasions, and that if the House of Commons had it in its power to speak by a single voice, that voice would be one of thorough and pro found !sympathy with the enthusiasm that pervades this as sembly. (Cheers.) lam not hero to speak of the House of Commons, because that house is in England a household word, It is so inseparably associated with all our traditions, with all our feelings, and with all our hopes, that if it were possible to tear away the House of Commons from the con stitution of England, England would cease to be what she is. (Cheers.) But it has been well stated—and it represents the lively sympathy which runs through the whole chain of free institutions, that those who pursue in this country the business of legislation for the complicated concerns of a great empire—those whose lot it may be, however unworthy, to be charged with the special responsibilities of govern ment—the longer they live, the longer their experience grows, the more deeply do they become convinced of the inestimable value of the independent honesty of a free and fearless bar, in order to secure and sustain the liberties of the people. (Cheers.) I have been told to-night—and told in terms of eloquence that cannot be matched—what have been the recent achievements of the members of your illus trious profession on behalf of liberty. Even under the mild and temperate sway of the House of Brunswick, the want of the bar has been felt, and that want, whenever it has been felt, has been supplied. We might go I urther back; we might go to the remote, to the worst, to tho darkest times ; we might go to the refga of James 11., and the trial of the seven bishops; we might go to the reign of Charles I. and the trial of Hampden ; and whenever it has been a question of examining, of searching, of vindicating, and a establish ing the hbertiesof Eagbeal, there the b tr has honestly, has steadily, been in the foremost rank. (Cheers.) Perhaps, Mr Attorney General, I may be permitted to recur to the impression upon an individual mind. I have known, as a'l in this country have known, that the bar too is inseparable from the national life and the perfect security of our institu. duns; but never, as long as I looked at England alone, did I understand the true secret of its value, It was my fate some 15 years ago to be witness of oriel oppressions in a country in Southern Europe, in a country where the executive power did not merely break the law, but supplanted and set wide the law, and established instead a system of arbitrary will. But, to my astonishment, I found that the audacity of tyranny itself, which had put down Chambers, which had put down municipalities, which had extinguished the press, could not put down one thing—and that was that it could not silence the bar. (Great cheering.) I heard in courts of justice, under the bayonets of the soldiers—for those courts bristled with the bayonets of soldiers—in the teeth of power, in contempt of corruption, in defiance of violence and arbi trary rule, lawyers rise in their places to defend the cause of the accused against the domineering power of Govern ment, and with a freedom and force and fearless honesty of purpose that could not have been surpassed in our happy England, that could hardly have been surpassed by M. Berryer himself. (Cheers.) He well knows, no man better, faculty of conducting causes with perfect skill and with matchless eloquence ; they had both that quality in per fection, and, in equal proportion, indomitable courage, (Cheers.) As to Lord Erskine, however pressed, there was none ho feared, neither the Court nor the King (hear, hear), but he did his duty to his client in spite of all the power held out to intimidate, and in spite of all the opposition even in those courts in which he practised, and of which he was the ornament and pride. And the same great qualities I have constantly observed in M, Berryer—that which is the first of all the duties of an advocate—to reckon every thing subordinate to the interests of his client—(hear, hear) —to have no purpose except to serve his cause effectively, to make no deviation, no digression to please either jury or judge, or the populace, or the crown, but to do his duty, looking only to the success of his client. (Cheers.) It has been said that the administration of justice in this country possesses a great advantage over that of many other nations, and that depends partly, no doubt, in the first place, upon the purity of our judges; but, in the next place, on the skill, the prudence, the discretion, and the courage of the advo cates. (Cheers.) I can see no worse fate before the country than its losing the purity of its administration of justice-- nothing more tending to this than anything trenching on the independence of the bar, or which may weaken that courage of the advocate of which such an illustrious example is now among us. (Hear, hear.) Of the orators in the French Senate, our esteemed guest, M. Berryer, is one of the most distinguished ; but it is his crowning glory that in every instance in which ho has been engaged as an advocate, he has put down, with the force of his learning, his eloquence, and his courage, all attempts to injure or oppress his follow•citizens. (Cheers.) I have detained you too long—(cries of " No, no")—but I could not, having been called upon, sit down without offering to you the ex pression of my sentiments. (Cheers.) The Noble Lord immediately rosb again, and said—The Attorney-General, in talking of the great honour which M. Desmarest has held at the French bar, was understood to have stated that it was a thing which we might envy in this country, having nothing of the kind. He meant, in deed, only England and Ireland ; in Scotland it is other wise. We have there a battonier, with this difference, that he is battonier daring behaviour. Sometimes the Government have thought that behaviour less a bless ing to have than it might be, and have deprived him of the office ; bet the legal principle in Scotland is that he holds the office for life unless some accident of that kind should intervene. (Cheers and laughter.) The CMAIRMAN then rose and said—l will now invite you to drink another health, which I am sure will give you equal pleasure with those that have preceded—l mean the health of the distinguished judges who have this day honoured us with their company. (Cheers.) It is impos sible for me to say a word either of their merits, or of the sense which we entertain of the honour which they h ave done us. I will ask you simply to drink their healths, as sociating with the toast the health of their eminent chief— the Lord Chief Jnstice. (Cheers.) The toast was duly honoured. Lord Chief Justice COCKBURN said—Mr.Attorney General, my lords, and gentlemen,—l wish, on behalf of - f the judges, to return our cordial thanks for the honour which has been done us. I am sure I express the common sentiment of all those who have been enabled to avail themselves of your gracious invitation, when I say that they have felt the highest gratification at having this opportu nityoinoienrs,sr,aonfeee,xhanibaittihneg i t l h l u e r t r a i o d u m s i g r a u t e i s o t n s and respect he t h i: pm r o e c u tog on this t your hothe r kind bear s it is so worthily represented. We who have had to pursue the study of jurisprudence with a view to its administration know how much the noble science of which we are members is indebted to the great and illustrious jurist of France whose labours have shed so much light and lustre on that great profession. %%e who have watched the celebrated trials which in my time have occupied the tribunals of France have been able to observe and appreciate the vast 4ttaiumento, the great rea that we are not met here to enter into and discuss the merits of particular schools of political opinion. We are here for more purposes than one, and one of those purposes I confi dently believe is to render and add another to the many tes timonies that recent history has afforded of the growth of a cordial union of heart and sentiment between the two gre at nations of England and France. (Cheers.) We are here also to render a more special homage to an objeot more narrowly defined. As there are ties which bind together the classes of the samecountry, so there are electriocurrents which passing the boundaries of political distinctions, establish sympathies which run through the world.

Berryer personally for the great achievements of his life. But yet, great as that life has been, not to that life only for what it has been and is in itself, but to that life because it is a symbol of something greater still—namely, of the indestructible principles which are involved in the very constitution of a free and indepen dent bar—namely, of the high obligations to speak, under all circumstances, the voice of truth, and to follow truth, through whatever difficulty and danger—to have faith in the moral forces which my eloquent friend near me has so well defined over the rival principle of violence; and in the belief that in the wise counsels of Providence from day to day, as the world grows older, we may hope to have by sure, if by slow degrees, the domination of that moral force progressively widened and enlarged, and to see the rival power of mere brute and barbarous violence gradually as. sert less and less an effective action upon the oonduct of mankind.

The Jurors' Report on Wax and Church Candles, in 1862. testifies to the excellence of the quality of Messrs. Tuckers' manufacture. A distinguished Dignitary, in a letter addressed to Francis Tucker and Co., on the subject of WAX CANDLES with PLATTED WICKS, says : " I have found them fully equal to the recommendation which you gave them, and can sincerely, in my turn, I com mend them to the clergy for the use of the altar."

According to the German journals the news of the signature of the treaty of peace has been coldly received in the Duchies, owing to the fact that the populations are dissatisfied with the evident indisposition of the Great Ger man Powers, especially Prussia, to solve the question of succession in conformity with the national wish. The in habitants of the Duchies are still uneasy on account of the annexionist tendencies of the Prussian feudal party, and they think, it is said, that the best means of putting a term to these projects would be to proclaim the Prince of Augus tenburg the only candidate recognised by them. BOAR HIINTING.—The Phare de la Loire gives an account of a singular boar hunt which took place on Monday last, off Pornichet (Lire—lnferieure). As MM. Masselin and Dubas, opticians, from Nantes, were gather. ing oysters from the rocks near Pornichet, their atten tion was attracted by the shouts of some women and children who were picking up shellfish on the beach, and on looking round they saw a large wild boar running across the sands towards a range of black rocks, which it seemed to take for bushes. The animal plunged into the water and swam to the rocks, where it was seen to lay down to rest. The two gentlemen, who happened to have guns loaded with shot for waterfowl, hastened to Pornichet, and put off in a boat with four other persons to chase the boar. On reaching the rocks they found that the rising tide had compelled the animal to leave ; but after rowing about for nearly an hour, they saw the boar swimmikg towards the shore. They soon overtook, and M. Dubas killed it with two shots fired at a distance of about 10 paces. DEAN SWIFT AND THE ALMANAC MAKER.—One John Partridge published a prophetic almanac, which had a large sale. It was not perhaps more absurdly audacious than our modern Francis Moore and Zadkiel's publications. It so stirred Swift's bile that he sent a letter to the papers, subscribed Isaac Biokerstaff, the Modern Merlin, in which he foretold the death of Partridge, naming the day and hour when that sad event would take place. Poor Par tridge was terribly annoyed : the prediction seemed likely, as sometimes happens, to fulfil itself. He however sur vived the day upon which Isaac Bickerstaff, as interpreter of the stars, had foretold that ho would die. , He announced that important fact in the belief that it would put his per. secutor to shame. Not at all ; far from that. The cnly no tice taken by Swift of the almanac maker's assertion that he was alive and well was the publication of a monody on his death. The assertion of his being alive was coolly ignored. Vainly did the persecuted Part/ idge write again to the news papers, " Blessed be God, John Partridge is still living and in health, and they are knaves who report otherwise." Strange to say, the Stationers' Company believed Isaac Bickerstaff, and prohibited the publication of Partridge's almanac—for as much as that person was defunct. In his extremity Par tridge engaged the facile pen of Dr Yalden, who wrote a pamphlet which set forth the pros and cons of the argument, very elaborately summing up the case by:a hesitating opinion that John Partridge was still in his flesh. The doctor was a wag and a friend of Swift's. John Partridge was never able to successfully prove his own identity, and at last he ap pears to have been himself somewhat doubtful of it.--;-.Rus sell's .Eccentric Personages. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. Bid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in Paris and London. By advioes from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 i per £1 stcrlin:. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 7-luths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg, V ISIT OF GENERAL TODLEBEN TO LIVERPOOL.—. We understand that General Todleben, the celebrated Rus. sian military engineer, will visit Liverpool to-morrow. He will be accompanied by General Sir John Burgoyne, and one or two Russian officers. General Todleben will, we believe, be the guest ct Mr Nicholas Mahs, the Russian Consul, during his stay in Liverpool. THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.—On Tuesday last a sad accident happened to the Duke of Hamilton while hunting with the Christchurch harriers. Ho charged an enormous bullfinch, holding his whip hand before his face for protection, when the animal on which he was mounted threw back her head, knocking with awful violence the handle of his hunting whip into his eye. For some time it was feared his grace must lose his eye, it appearing to be forced from its socket ; but medical aid, if is hoped, may soon restore him.—Sussex Advertiser.
